In October, I went to California to visit my family. We went to the Pumpkin patch. It has been many years since I have been to a California Pumpkin Patch-I will admit-it was a bit strange-it was 90 degrees and very, very dry. I was in shorts, a tank and flip-flops. Just a bit different from the Hood River trip Brian and I took the previous week!
This is my sister and her son, J.P. The two boy are 9 months apart. Very fun to watch them grow together. Wish we weren't so far apart (geographically). Since Russell was such a great companion on the flight and in the airport (this was my first solo airplane trip without Brian and with Russell), I just might do it again soon!
The two cousins swinging in the park by my parent's house. Russell's first swing ride-ever! He seemed a bit unsure...
All the cousins! (Left to right) J.P., Tucker, EmmaJoe, and Russell. (Notice Russell's head is the "Chief Hog" character. Rather appropriately named!)

This is Russell with his cousin Tucker. Tucker was born (6 "ish") weeks after Russell. He is the son of my dear cousin LauraJane who more like a sister to me than a cousin. For those of you who came to my baby shower, she was the pregnant one who surprised me all the way from California! I just love her!!
